From the manual : <?php $hi = fopen("myfile.txt","r");
$text = fread($hi,filesize("myfile.txt")); fclose($hi); ?>
So '$text' would = contents of file, or use this alternative function;
<?php $hi = file("myfile.txt"); print_r($hi); ?>
'file' reads the contents of your file, and will store it in the '$hi' variable as an array of lines.
'print_r' will simply print this array in an easy-to-read way.

Also take a look here for a good tutorial: http://www.zend.com/zend/tut/tutorial-jenkins2.php

If you want to echo the contents of a file you just do this:
print file_get_contents('file/path/filename.ext');
